Chapter Text
"No fucking way! The avengers are hiring?!" I practically yell with excitement, reading it from a random newspaper stall, no longer so bored.
"Yeah, kid, you don't watch TV much, do you? It was all over it, some reporter got a word in with Captain America!" The stall owner told me proudly.
"Oh man! I so have to try out! Thanks stall owner guy!" I thanked him and ran off in the direction of the train station, dapping my feet on the spot while I wait for the next train that would take me to the Avenger's Tower. I am psyched!
«We are psyched.»
"Yes, Venom, we are psyched." I gave in then smiled and jumped with excitement again.
"Hey kid, shut up!" Some random guy slapped the back of my head as if to discipline me.
"Woah woah, WOAH! Don't HIT her!" A boy came over and tried to help out, Venom was growling horrid things he wanted to do to the guy that slapped us in the head, "You okay?" The boy asked, snapping me out of my psychotic comeuppance chat with V.
"Oh, yeah, thanks.. woah, did you do that?" I ask, now realising the boy had blood on his knuckles and the guy was on the floor in a foetal position, cradling his broken nose in his hands.
The boy's lips twitched upwards and rubbed the back of his neck, nervously, "yeah.. so uh, where you headed?"
"Uhh, try out for the Avenger's team.. and it looks like you're joining me, quick!" Noticing thugs headed our way with angry faces, I tug him backwards, pulling him with me into a train carriage.
"WOAH!-- Really? So am I! What powers do you have?!" The boy asked, excitedly.
"You'll have to wait and find out!" I tease mysteriously.
"I can't wait to meet them all in person! Wow! Do you think sign autographs for me??" I ramble and gasp.
"Haha! Yeah I'm sure they wouldn't mind!" The boy answered.
"Oh Christ, where are my manners? My name's Y/N, and yourself?" I introduce myself, Venom tried to introduce himself too but I told him in my head how that would creep people out, so he kept it on the low.
"Oh ah, yeah, my name's Peter, Peter Parker.." He stuttered out.
"James Bond-ing it I see, niiicce" I joke, trying to make him feel more comfortable.
I got Peter to laugh and we joked around and became close friends for the duration of the train ride.
We soon reached our destination and got off at the same stop, getting into a line of many people who were in line to try out for the team apparently.
"I'll um, catch up with you later, kay?" Peter said nervously, maybe he doesn't like crowds. I nod and go stand in line after taking a ticket from a sign that said to take one.
"WOAH! Is that Spiderman?!" Someone pointed out, fans screamed and jumped.
Myself and Venom were not enjoying the high pitch noises. So, we scuttled away while the others stayed lined up. We retreated to a chinese corner store and bought ourselves my favourite bubble tea and then proceeded to buy a big Cornish pastie, for some reason Venom said he'd been craving them recently, and he said it like he was pregnant, so I had to make sure. He said his kind didn't get pregnant like that, I then told him not to tell me how it happened and he grunted in understanding, disappearing again.
"Ready to go try again?" I ask V.
«Born ready!»
"God, I'm rubbing off on you... I'm sorry, dude" I joke and Venom fills my head with a chaotically echoic laugh.
I head towards the tower again, it now being rather late in the evening and it seemed like everyone had been turned away. Thought they were just fans anyway. Seemed I was right.
I knock on the glass of the Avenger's Tower but no answer came. Finally, after 5 tries a robotic voice answered,
I growled a little and realised that was just a recorded message. So I hadn't even gotten their attention.. Hmm.. We'll see about that!
I took my ticket from my pocket and twirled it in my finger tips, my magic twisting it and making it dance. I push my hand upwards to the sky and the ticket bursts into an illusion of snow that fell down upon me and the people around, a child points up and jumps with happiness, his mother drops her phone out of awe and I catch it with a magic snow dog illusion, I make it bark and hand her the phone back. The child running after my magic snow dog. If this doesn't get their attention, I don't know what will.
After a good 10 minutes the Falcon came soaring through the skies and flew to circle me and my magical snow show. Venom, when no one was looking, would catch the illusion on his tongue. I giggled and pirouetted, falling down into the snow and made a snow angel.
Suddenly a car came racing down the road and was driving right for me, I click and the illusion was gone, I snapped my fingers again and the fake snow covered the cars screen, in hopes the man behind the wheel would stop because of it, but instead swerved and drove straight for the mother and child.
"VENOM!"
Venom shoots out an extended black, gloopy arm and saved the child and woman, holding the car up in midair, wheels still rolling, engine still revving. Venom was going to crush the car, and man included, he could feel my anger towards the man but I had to quell my rage and ensuite, V calmed down as well.
The car was lowered but given a little push to the floor.
"How'd you do that?! What is that thang?!" The Falcon came to land beside us and interrogated while slamming open the door and finding the man dead with his foot stabbed through the acceleration pedal, he wrenched the dagger from the dead man's foot and turned off the engine. Falcon covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and backed away, feeling sick. "Shit.." he coughed and I walked over like it was nothing. "No no, you've caused enough disruption, you stand back-"
"No. There's a note." I pointed out to him. The Falcon didn't make a move to get the note, I rolled my eyes and sighed, grabbing the dead guy by the collar of his shirt, throwing him to the floor, plucking the note from his head, the staple ripping from his stale flesh.
Falcon almost hurled.
Another Avenger came down,
"WoAh! Who gave Jesus a jack-off upgrade?" I teased with a false confident belly laugh.
"Out the way." Said metal arm Jesus.
"Yes ma'am!" I saluted him.
He narrowed his eyes at me and stormed past. I grin mischievously and he and the Falcon began doing Avenger things. I kicked at the dirt and said, "So... You gonna eat that?" I thumbed back to the body, speaking on Venom's behalf.
Robo-Jesus gave me a stern stare and Falcon looks completely mortified.
"Okay, I'm gonna take that as a no, but I'm not so sure with grump-puss over there.."
The Jesus guy turned away and stood guard while Falcon took to the air to scout the area.
"Surprise...?" The Jesus dude read the note with suspicioun riding riddling his voice.
Just as I was about to let Venom eat the guy, a band of cars came down the road, men with guns in armoured suits. Bullets flew at me, catching both myself and Venom off guard. The Jesus dude came over and tried to save me from the bullets, him also getting shot in the process.
My eyes bulge, "Where are the other Avengers?!" I yell whisper.
"Out." He answered briskly and with a brave huff he stands, bullet wound to the chest. He's gonna bleed to death at this rate. He began shooting with a rifle he had strapped to his back.
"Alright.. no. No. NO. STOP!" I roared, using Venom's voice to emphasise my rage and dominance.
Guns are lowered and I turn to Jesus guy and whisper, "I want you to cover your eyes. No one wants to see this. Tell Falcon to stay away. This is gonna get messy real quick." I breathe out and the Jesus guy grabs my arm, pulling me to him again, something was in his eyes, was that.. Fear? "It'll be okay. I promise." I told him reassuringly.
I stand boldly again, one of them shoots my leg, I jerk my head in a way to say, wordlessly, 'BrUh'.
"Alright. You guys are Hydra, right?" I asked straight out.
A gas canister was thrown at my feet and I see the red octopus symbol and growl for the Jesus guy to hide his eyes again, as he hadn't, finally he gives in. "MASK!"
«COPY»
As soon as I could, I made sure Venom took Jesus guy Inside.
Venom did so, "Keep your eyes closed, it's better this way.. Believe me.." I told him.
"What is on me? Am I in glue?"
"You're inside of us... NOT LIKE THAT!-"
"I didn't.. oh. Seriously, what glue is it?" He grouchily asked again.
"It's Venom, he's an alien that's a part of me and keeps me alive, I shouldn't even be here.. anyway, TMI, umm, so. We're keeping you alive in here as there's currently deadly gas outside, Venom is gonna eat now and then we'll be free again, okay?" I try to explain.
He nodded.
Venom burped and retreated into my body, freeing myself and Jesus robot. I brush off his shoulders and dust away the dried blood from his now healed chest wound, thanks to Venom, the guy opened his eyes again and said nothing, just growled and nodded. His eyes scanned the battle scene, dead bodies, none, only torn clothing, small puddles of blood and occasional broken bones, smashed street lights and a couple of cars too. The soldier's guns littered the road, no one in sight, just Jesus guy and myself, licking the small splattering of blood on the corner of my mouth.
Again, without words, the guy came to me, marched over, grabbed my wrist and yanked me into the Avenger's Tower, speaking over the Comms link that he was talking me back to the Tower.
"Woah, this is moving rather fast don't you think? I mean, I don't mind, not at all, you know I can convert to Christianity just for you Jesus, but I think we should maybe start with a date before we, hey!-" He shoves me into an elevator, grabs my throat and roughly presses me against the wall until my feet are just enough off the floor you choke.
"Shut. Up." He simply and gruffly ordered. His eyes looking up under his scruffy bangs and his angry brows.
"S.. Say that again, it.. Sounded good~" I teased back between bold gulps of breath.
"How did you kill them all?!" He changed the subject.
"Easy. I'm..m.. magical, b.. Bitch!" I told him simply, technically lying, but technically not.
"Come on." He dragged me out of the elevator as it dinged.
I was pulled along by him, all the way, Venom and I were having a nice chat about the interior design of the place, he told me about the weaknesses too, so if worse came to worst, well, I'd know what to aim for.
"So, where you taking me??" I ask.
"Make yourself at home!" He threw me into a cell, nextdoor there said a guy in green, gold and black.
"Wow, you guys are all insanely hot here, feeling a bit out of place already.." I said jokingly. Green guy chuckled with mischief in his lungs.
The green guy tilted his neck like a dog but did it with such precise, more in a feline like way.
'Green pussy. That's his name. The other guy who threw me in here, still don't know his name, let's make him a cat too.. Venom, any ideas?'
"Ooh yeah! Perfect, thanks V!"
"Darling, I am not called, V. Who are you talking to?" A very English man asked.
"Oh I said that it loud? Oops, my bad! I'm talking to the voice in my head. Don't mind me!" I say, not exactly lying.
"Oh? And what is the name of this voice, V, I presume? Well, my name is Loki. I am the God of mischief!"
"Ooh you little scoundrel you! And no he's called Venom, I just shorten his name sometimes. My name's Y/N, pleasure to meet you, my faithful God!" I bow.
Loki smirked, "I like you, you know how to treat a God, if only more Midgardians could do what you do-"
"What? Lie and hide away until some day there's an Avenger's recruiting scheme, then pop up, get Venom in to help kick ass and eat ass and then save some guy who throws me in a cell? I mean my plan was to get into the Avenger's Tower but my plan was to become part of the team, not be locked in a fucking cell, next to mind-controlled, power crazed God of mischief beside me as my only company, alongside the mould on the ceiling tiles and Venom in my head." I blandly let that all roll off my tongue.
"Well I-" Loki began, then noticed my hand flicking a little and without words or explanation, I had made myself at home, I had transformed the room into an illusion of what my old home looked like. "How did you-"
"Memories, illusions, magic. You do the same don't you, you're a God after all~" I taunt him and he answered,
"Of course! Just.. never use it to this extent, or-"
"Or you're drained? Well try living on the cusp of life your entire life. I have incurable-"
«Are you sure you want to tell him?» Venom crawled over my arm and turned me away from Loki, hiding us in a little tent corner I used to go cry under when I was little.
"You're right.. I don't want to.. not yet.. Maybe not ever.." I curl up. Loki calls for me but then gives up and Venom covers my body with his gloopy substance of a body. My form wracked by sobs. Venom makes sure my sounds aren't heard, he cradles me and tells me everything will be okay. "T.. Thank you, V, you're the best.." I whimper and hug him closer to me.
«There there little bug.. I'll keep you safe..»
